Stevenson is a guy I thought could be useful

Looks like the kid signed with the Giants.

Coward is a great signing. Linval Joseph upside. But David Jones and Lorenzo Jerome really should be here.

I like the Gentry signing. When watching the Allen highlights when he might be our pick the kid was making plays all over the place.

I don't believe the Bears have made these official yet, but if they do, they're 4 over the roster limit and some heads will have to roll.

Langford and Miller are pretty easy choices.

Hate to see Miller go, but he's been prepping himself for it since the season ended. Royal though...is also gone.

Middleguard · Sun Apr 30, 2017 6:02 pm

Royal, gotta hope. He just hasn't had it here. Liked him in Denver. Thought he was a sop to Cutler when Marshall was axed. Need guys who can return punts tho. Who are they?

Eddie Jackson, if healthy and not gunshy
Leblanc, if he makes the team

Is Lamar Houston going to stay on the team? They haven't really tried to replace him and I find that shocking...

Unless there is some surprise cut from another team I think he's on this team this year. Though I do think it's his last

Pretty much has to at this point.

I thought they might go for one - but only because it was such a great draft class.

McPhee is slightly more breaky and slightly less good and Acho is just veteran filler

Chuck Zodda @ITP_ChuckZ
38m
The Bills grabbing P Austin Rehkow as a UDFA is close to K Andy Phillips going to Chicago as my biggest undrafted steal for specialists

Mon May 01, 2017 3:40 pm

@BearsBacker
WR Jamari Staples to the #Bears as an UDFA.

Middleguard · Mon May 01, 2017 5:32 pm

Skinny and (thus) injury-prone. But the same height as Meredith and White, so a reasonable substitute for Trubisky to aim at in preseason.

alexwilkins · Mon May 01, 2017 8:32 pm

I like Rashaad Coward. He had really good tape vs. NC State this year. He plays over the Center, but he could really blossom playing End. Long arms, strong. I could see him pushing into the rotation this year.

Royal I heard they have to wait till he is healthy to cut him, not 100% sure though.

Camp kicker Andy Phillips looking good.

Dude is gonna be like 28 when the season starts. Still, he's going to be good for a long time. Hopefully he sticks over Barf.

mmmc_35 · Tue May 16, 2017 10:25 am

So Alex Scearce LB Coastal Carolina
6'3" 235lb really good pro day numbers as seen below.

There is little to watch of him. I have found like 6 clips with him. If this kid can play a little bit he might make the team. The Bears need an ILN who can cover and pay SP Teams. He is plenty athletic for both those tasks.

I'd love to have this dude beef up a little on the practice squad. I think he started out as a defensive back...I don't think he's quite 235.

mmmc_35 · Tue May 16, 2017 12:16 pm

That was his listed pro day weight, but he could have had some quarters in his pocket. He looks fairly narrow from the shoulders and hips. I think 245 is probably the most he could effectively weigh. Unless he has a ton of Mexican supplements.

Seales was cut today.

I guess Bellamy can breathe. For now.
